Default The Biggest Villain on 'Biggest Loser'

For of the Biggest Losers watches (myself included) I saw this article yesterday and wanted to share.
The Biggest Villain on 'Biggest Loser'
By Liz Coughlin & Angela Chen | Monday, December 1, 2008, 2:09 PM

Vicky from "Biggest Loser: Families"
NBC/Trae Patton
People are buzzing about a contestant on "The Biggest Loser: Families" -- but not for reasons you might think. Her name is Vicky and, to put it bluntly, she scares us.

Reality TV is known for its nasty villains. From Omarosa to Richard Hatch to most of the groupies on "Rock of Love," the evil reality contestants out to win at any cost always make a show more interesting. But for the most part, "Biggest Loser" has been immune to that type of player. Sure, some contestants have worked the system (like Neil sabotaging his team by drinking gallons of water prior to the weigh-in), but typically "Biggest Loser" contestants are more focused on their own difficult transformations than plotting the demise of their competition.


Watch this user-generated video to see Vicky in action:

Vicky may have started out as somewhat quiet (she even claimed to be overshadowed by her husband Brady), but later, as she gained confidence, the real Vicky emerged.

FIVE REASONS WHY VICKY IS BAD NEWS:
1. Bob, the ever-positive Blue Team trainer, commented early on that she was the "most conniving person" he'd seen on the show. To be honest, we hadn't noticed, but let's just say that if Bob has something negative to say about someone, we pay attention.
2. Vicky boasted that her team lost a challenge because the prize wasn't worth it. Talk about poor sportsmanship! Whether the prize is good enough for you or not, at least make an effort -- it's an additional workout, dummy.
3. In recent episodes Vicky started making faces during weigh-ins, and even worse, she started to openly mock Philip when he spoke, even when he was on the scale. That's crossing the line. When someone steps on that giant scale, awaiting their fate each week, it is a moment that must be respected.
4. Even Vicky's alliance pal Ed warned cameras that if you cross her "she'll claw your eyes out." When Amy C. voted Brady off two weeks ago, Vicky totally lost it. She cursed about Amy during her confessionals, posted a "revenge" sign on her bedroom door, ignored Amy altogether, and vowed to knock her out of the competition. And Amy was Vicky's teammate! Then when Amy saved Vicky from elimination the next week (because she felt so guilty about Brady), Vicky returned the favor by sending Amy packing the moment Amy was on the chopping block. Apparently Vicky is a 37-year-old woman with the mentality of a mean 13-year-old girl.
5. When football legends Jerry Rice and Steve Young stopped by for a challenge where the prize was a charitable donation, Vicky was still in 100% scheme-mode. She figured that the challenge twist would be that they'd have to run the course twice, and the winner would be the one with the most improved time. So she WALKED the first time, with Jerry and Steve shouting encouragements from the sidelines while she lied to them about being embarrassingly slow. She was correct about the twist and of course she ran the second time and won the challenge, but there was no way the win was worth it. Talk about a lack of respect for yourself, your peers, and Steve and Jerry. We were disgusted.

Vicky has been successful at losing weight, and she just might win the whole thing. But she is on a national stage displaying some truly ugly qualities -- greed, selfishness, and a complete lack of respect and compassion. Her antics might be fun on a show focused on outwitting the competition, but they're definitely out of place on "The Biggest Loser."

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I totally agree, and I believe one thing has held true through eternity.....you reap what you sow, so even if Vicky wins, her being ugly and all that other stuff will come back to her one way or another.

Love it~!!! I keep thinking, honey do you realize your on national TV making a fool out of yourself. And last night with that sitting up top and not wanting to jump in the water. Give me a break. She even said she isnt afraid of heights. She was being such a poor sport about loosing. God I dont care who wins but as along as its not her who wins it all~!!

She is a bitch, plain and simple. I hope she doesn;t win the whole thing. I want michelle to win, she is the only one left that I like. I was really hoping that Coleen would win, I have a bad feeling that Vicky will win though, I wanted to push her off that thing last night and hold her under water til the bubbles stopped! LOL

I bet she will gain all the weight back too, she is all about the money and prizes.
